Cristel – Stainless Steel

Cristel – stainless steel – cookware is the leading consumer cookware in France. It combines the heat conductivity of aluminum and the wearability of stainless steel.  Cristel multiply utilized an aluminum core sandwiched between layers of stainless steel in both the bottom and sides of the cookware.

 Another unique feature of the Cristel design is the use of removable handles.  Long handles attach for use with pans on the stove top.  Short handles can be used to stabilize larger pans and to use the pans as serving dishes. Cookware can be put in the oven withour handles, and then moved to the table or counter with either short or long handles.

This also provides ease of storage.  Pans nest easily without the annoying handles taking up room in the cupboard.  Ideal for boating, Recreational vehicles and small kitchens.
